Thanks for this. Will check out Valevala, and also found Call For Atlantis when I was reading Valevala's reviews.Minsc said:
As for Puzzle Quest, it's reputation/reviews has scared me off. I have a iPod 2g, but if the games just suck for now, I'm not gonna bother.
Gun Bros (free) is amazing!
Retina, Game Center, "Asynchronous Coop" (as I like to call it) of your Bros.. the best dual-stick shooter around, in my opinion.
If you wish to join the Bro-fest.. my Game Center ID is "jtp4455".
Edit: Holy crap Mejilan, your Bro is so badass. He will hardly let me kill anyone.. he gets to them first!

I just recently got my ipod touch 4 and I think my most played game is Cut the rope (got 3 stars on every level, including the Christmas pack)Erasus said:
Game Dev Story is also incredibly fun and addictive although now that I've made my own console I've not been playing it as much
I've also been using the Free app a day app to find daily free games and the appvent calender for free stuff too.
Other games I've been enjoying
Crash Bandicoot Nitro kart 2 (was like 59p so I bought it and it's really good imo)
Infinity Blade (gorgeous game and runs mostly find on the ipod 4. good for short gaming sessions)
Rage HD (nice on rails shooting gallery)
Rayman 2 (It was free when I got it. Port of the N64/PS1 game. pretty good)
Assault Squadron (again, was free. Fun shump)
Plock (free puzzle/match 2 game. sometimes it's just satisfying to go crazy tapping the screen for a minute)
Fruit Ninja (better than the rip off Veggie ninja)
Wispin (made by a gaffer. Really great looking colour based action game. addictive and very fun)
180 (another game by a gaffer. nice twist on the bubble bobble style game. you can flip the 'bubbles' between two colours. I think it's free till the new year).
Mini Squadron (I don't know f this is still free. a fun little arena shooter with planes. LOTS of unlockable planes)
Devil Invasion (really fun match 3/castle defence with RPG elements)
geoFighter (great geometry wars style game)
StarDunk (fun basketball shoot out game with a lot of different balls and world wide score attack games every so often)
Cell Splat (really fun and unique puzzler. Tap all the block that are the same as the one shown to you. grey block means all of that shape, colour splat means all of that colour)
I've got a lot more games but those are the one I'd recommend to people. Don't know a lot of great apps though.
don't know if it was posted, but there is an Amiga emulator on the way from the C64 emulator devs. Officially licensed.
demo video shows Defender of the Crown, Battle Squadron, International Karate +, R-Type, R-Type II, Speedball, Stunt Car Racer, Shadow of the Beast, Virus, and Xenon 2: Megablast: but these may or may not be available in the final product or in-app purchase.

ipad stuff: gameloft's brain age HD thing is free, as is veggie samurai HD, and catan is down to $2.99.
i've picked up both catan and carcasonne this week, lord knows if i'll get into them but it's worth a shot.

The past few years (and this trend is continuing going from 1-core CPUs to 2-core CPUs in smartphones over the next year) have had large improvements in hardware. 3G > 3GS is a huge step forward, as is 3GS > 4, and same should be true of the 2-core CPU successor to the 4. Since smartphone generations are a year or so long, the next few years should show similar increases as well as the games continue catching up to the average user's smartphone!

Just nabbed Neuroshima Hex. What a brilliant game. Between this and Riese, I'm set for the moment. Lord knows I'll be swamped when I eventually pick up Reiner Knizia's Samurai, Carc and Catan.
Have done a complete 180 on iPhone gaming. A new baby will have that effect! :lol

It's a renaissance for me, Astrolad! I just need a nice CCG, which Minsc alerted me to in the form of Shadow Era, and I'll be set. Makes me wish I had wireless net in the house, because I'd actually nab Carc for multi. It'd blow out my phone budget a little too much, knowing me. :lol
Khanage said:
I'd score it the same. Great graphics and combat system. The only chink in the armor (lulz) is that it feels like one of those 1980's Atari 2600 games that just had one level you had to keep playing over and over again.
Beat it in a marathon session yesterday and my iPad battery only went from 90% down to 60%. Impressive.

Devs are moving towards going 3GS/iphone 4 only and are abandoning the 1st and 2nd gen models.
It makes sense, really. The SGX models (3GS, 4, corresponding Touch models and iPad) can handle similar levels of graphical complexity with only adjustments for CPU capability required, where as the MBX models are fixed function (I think, though I may be confused here) and are significantly less capable. With each passing day the MBX is a smaller share of the market, so dev effort there becomes less and less worthwhile.Nuclear Muffin said:

Final Fantasy Tactics update!
Looks to be Spring 2011, earliest now.
Highlights:
Dynamic (pinch?) zooming supported.
Larger UI menus for easier touch screen use
Scroll/Rotate screen by touch
The whole touch interface to me, sounds like it could work really well in navigating around the map. It's obviously way faster to tap a random square than it is to hit the left and up d-pad a few dozen times.

Tried out the demo of Illusia, it's really great! First platformer rpg that seems to be really well done in all aspects to me. First impression: very comparable to Maple Story but much more beautiful, smooth framerate, well done 'cutscenes', charming overall style, good shit!

Has anyone heard if Real Racing 2 will be 60fps? Didn't Real Racing 1 run at that rate?
Also, does Carcassonne have Gamecenter support for multiplayer?

Interesting what is Shadow Era? Can't seem to find it on the app store. Culdcept would be awesome on iOS though speaking of CCGish games.Pylon_Trooper said:
GameCenter is the next update for Carc; don't know when that will be though. Currently you add friends via email.

Oh good. Hopefully it will be the same for the iPod Touch 4.
AstroLad said:
I might have to jump on board, then.
There are a ton of new people playing Carc since the last update. Think I have something like 20 GAF games going now even though I had about 5 before the update.Gamecocks625 said:

So head to head against Tactics Ogre?Minsc said:
Eh, at least it exists!
I picked up Illusia last week as well and have put a few hours into it.
The translation is pretty lol, as expected, I suppose.
But the game is quite fun. The controls, graphics, and performance generally destroy Maple Story Thief Edition (which Illusia clearly rips off), and the end-result is a more consistent and more enjoyable game. It does get a bit samey after a while though. I also dig that the platforming is more challenging than Maple Story.

Got a ton of responses and sent out a few game requests. Not sure how many I want to play at once. Also, I keep bizarre hours and spend much of the day away from the Internet, so I'll be a little sporadic. Thanks guys.
Edit: Ah crap, thought I was on the carc thread. Sorry.

While I'm at it, a recommendation: Dungeon Raid. I'm not a fan of random generic fantasy themes or match puzzle games, but this is a weirdly fun roguelike puzzler with drawing controls and hidden depth.

I've had this problem, it was annoying the crap out of me because it was at almost 2GB at one point.
Some research seems to suggest it's "corrupted sync data" whatever the hell that means. It's been an issue with iTunes/iPhones for about 2 years if my searching was any indication so it's pretty shocking it's still an issue.
Anyway the only way I've found to fix it is to back up your iPhone and then restore it, you can then restore the backup and all your settings, games, contacts and such will still be there but the phantom data won't be.
If my phone is any indication it will keep happening though and you'll probably have to restore it again within a few weeks depending on how bothered you are with the space it's taking up.

I thought it would but all my save data and such was still there. Better to be safe than sorry though if there's no rush on getting the space back.

I think it's related to the multitask feature.
The multitask is not really a multitask. Basically it's a memory dump of the game in the moment that you close the app, and loading the memory image when you click again in the game.
And if you have played Infinity Blade, Rage HD and some other big games, you can imagine how big those memory dumps are. Simply close any "multitask" app, and syncronize again.
